Denise

Its late at night!.. 1 a.m here in England and i have just finished watching an inspiring t.v program,i watched an old episode of "Heartbeat" this afternoon, its a Police series set in Yorkshire in the 1960,s, its just a picture of sleepy village life in rural England,a woman was shot while standing in a car park with four other people,by a sniper at a distance of 250 yards,of course the bullet was meant for someone else and we are shown a woman returning to her home and her husband who is there , he is the local Gamekeeper.
I immediately knew he was the Murderer and the bullet was meant for his wife!!...i wish i wasn't always suspicious of the husbands, but unfortunately its always true... later on it is revealed that she has been having an affair, so of course the implication is that 'she had it coming'...The program later on a local christian channel,U.C.B,united christian broadcasters,was about forgiveness a young Pastor called Dean tells the wonderful inspiring story of being able to forgive his step father for murdering his mother Denise,Dean had spent 13 years with great un-forgiveness and in fact had wanted to kill Bob his (ex stepfather),he sought out Bob,and we see them meeting and interviews with some of the other people in Deans family talking about the impact of the Murder on them, also Bobs daughter, who has a restraining order against her father, because in her words" i don't feel safe around him"...and "how could he kill someone he seemed to genuinely care about"...
Deans sister explains how impressed she is with Dean, but does not feel able to make that commitment.Dean is an inspiration, and was very worried because Bob does not know how to forgive himself, which he says many times through the program, the trouble is the Bob like all abusers does not really think he SHOULD forgive himself, because he does not feel he has done anything wrong.Later he tells Dean about the night when it happened about the argument before, how deans mum Denise had been going square dancing with another man,instead of spending time with the kids, which he had agreed to,then changed his mind, how she had spent too much money, and how he had calmly gone and got a baseball bat and hit her four times,after the first time she said "why", he didn't understand why he did it...He did not show any emotion, or guilt when telling the story, in fact recounted it as if he was telling an everyday story of going to the shops....i was encouraged that his present girlfriend had in looked into his past, and had decided not to continue the relationship,she was the daughter of the local sheriff, and that is how she was able to find out, he had kept his past a secret, and kept moving around.
